When it comes to managing your weight to improve your health and quality of life, investing in a weight-loss program can give you the diet structure and support you need to achieve your goals.

But when it comes down to costs, it may feel hard to justify the expense of a program like HMR’s Healthy Solutions® at-home plan—one that includes support and food, when you see other weight-loss programs advertised for much less. But here’s the thing—with some weight-loss programs, you still have to shop for all of your food AND plan, prep, cook, and portion it out. You may find it hard to manage all of that on your own, which can jeopardize your long-term success. Plus, you may even end up spending a lot more in the end. In fact, studies looking at weekly food expenses found that Americans are spending anywhere from $85 - $150 or more per week – per person – when groceries, take-out, and restaurants were factored in.1,2

When you join the HMR Program, all of your food will be delivered to you (you just have to add fruits and vegetables) so you can lose weight without decisions. Your HMR food replaces what you’re currently eating… and spending.

“It took some honesty with myself to accept that I needed as much help as HMR provides.

The HMR Program is designed to help you feel full and satisfied while keeping calories low – if it weren’t for this aspect of the program there’s no way I would have stayed on it for very long – I just wouldn’t have had the willpower to always be saying ‘no.’”
